Reason for concern

FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION BALL JOINT MAY FAIL

Reason for recall

An under torque condition may exist in the front lower ball joint. This may result in a high bending fatigue loading of the joint which could result in a fracture of the first thread of the ball stud which then leads to separation of the lower control arm from the knuckle. This separated condition will limit steering control.

Remedy

Recall affected vehicles and check ball joint security and condition. Replace vertical link if necessary.
